What is going to happen is, programs are slowing going to phase out the bulk of affiliates and only continue working with the top ones, while feeding their sites with internal traffic to pick up the slack. This is a MUCH cheaper model.
You guys can laugh it up now if you want. Please bookmark this thread and visit it again in 2 - 3 years. Lets see where the affiliate model is then. 80% of you won't be here, that much I know.

I don't doubt it will happen but not in 2-3 years. People were saying the same thing 5 years ago and still, little has changed. Generating massive inhouse traffic is still expensive though. You either have to pay for traffic, most of which the quality is questionable or hire a team of people to make sites out the ass (which won't be instantly profitable).
